About this ranking

Passenger cars powered only by electricity registered for the first time in the year.

New registrations reported by national vehicle registers to Eurostat. Battery electric cars run only on electricity; plug-in hybrids are counted separately by Eurostat and are not included here.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
